The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 268

However, Danya was wrong. Paige didn't seem like she was going to invite Danya to join her at all. Instead, Paige slowly chewed on the chicken, ignoring Danya.

Noticing that Paige wasn't going to acknowledge her, Danya had to ask for herself, "Miss Anderson, where did the maid go?"

"Oh, she went home!" Paige answered nonchalantly.

"Home? Why?" Danya raised her voice in surprise.

Paige answered mockingly, "Something at home came up for her, of course."

"But who's going to make dinner for us if she went home?"

"Did you hear yourself? Can't you cook for yourself? Or do you feel so entitled and think that you must be served," Paige asked coldly.

"I can cook. But there are no ingredients," Danya replied gloomily.

"Yow're joking! How are there no ingredients in the refrigerator?" Paige said as she finished another piece of chicken.

Danya gulped as she watched Paige enjoyed her chicken, "I'm serious! Why would I lie?"

"Well, I'll go check later when I finish eating."

As she replied, Paige settled on the couch in the living room and continued her dinner.

After the chicken pieces, Paige had another hamburger and drank a big cup of Cola. Only then she slowly got up and went to the kitchen. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Paige opened the fridge to take a look, "Oh, there are really is nothing left."

Then, she patted herself on the forehead, "Gosh, I forgot! Before the maid left, she said she's throwing away the ingredients because they're going to expire. It just happened that she had to take a leave, that's why there's nothing here."

"What? Then what are we having for dinner?" Danya asked anxiously. It was already dark outside, yet she hadn't had dinner. She was starving to death.

"I've already had something, so I won't be having dinner. We'll just wait for the maid to come back tomorrow," Paige said as she headed upstairs.

"But... But I haven't had dinner yet! What am I going to eat?" Danya asked angrily.

She felt like she was being fooled around by Paige.

"That's none of my business, isn't it? Maybe you can call your almighty Miss for help?" Paige sneered.

Danya's voice turned sour, "Ms. Anthony is ill, so she needs rest."

"Then why don't you call the man who slept with her? Since she respected you so much, I think the

man will respect you too and do his best to help you."

"Watch your tone!" Danya quivered with rage.

"What's with my tone? This is how I always speak. I'll be nice to those who are good to me. But to those who're not, why would I need to be nice?" Paige laughed coldly.

"Besides, who are you to me? What do you have to do with me?"

"You wicked woman! We're compatriots! Shouldn't you help me out in a foreign country?" Danya questioned.

"Oh, look who's saying that," Paige glared at Danya.

"Just who do you think you are? I'm not Paisley. I won't cosset you." Paige sneered.

"Know your place before you come questioning me! Ha, I was going to order food for you, but now I guess I won't. There's no point wasting my time and money for such an ungrateful person like you."

Then, Paige strode upstairs without giving Danya any chance to speak.

Danya was left alone in the living room, and her face ghastly because of her rage.

Paige's words had no filter and it was so insulting.

Needless to say, Paige must have put the employees on holiday and even asked the maid to take away all the food.

She came to Sydney with Paisley without any knowledge of the language nor the place they were visiting. If Danya had known earlier, she wouldn't have skipped lunch. In that case, at least she could tolerate the hunger for a night.

Since she didn't have lunch, it would be too much to handle if she skipped dinner as well.

Danya could only call Paisley for help, and she didn't wait long before someone picked up the call. It was Joseph, "Ms. Anthony fainted and she is currently on an IV drip, I'll pass on the message when she wakes up." She was elated to hear Joseph's voice on Paisley's phone.

She felt as though even God was giving her an opportunity to cause a rift between Joseph and Paige.

At the thought of it, Danya immediately put her thoughts into action, and she started acting. "She fainted?! Oh my god, why? What's wrong?"

"It's nothing serious. A doctor has already checked Ms. Anthony, and he said she'll be fine," Joseph answered.

"Thank goodness, she's alright. I..." Danya couldn't even finish her sentence before she started to fake crying.

Joseph frowned at Danya's cries, "Ms. Anthony will be alright. There's no need for you to be so worried."

"I... I just feel that we're so miserable. Miss Paisley is ill, and I'm starving," Danya bit the bullet, and she went all out on her acting.

"Then why didn't you eat?" Joseph asked.

"I wanted to, but there's nothing to eat. There's nothing in the fridge..." Danya choked.

"Didn't the maid make dinner for the both of you?" Joseph was perplexed.

"Miss Anderson only had them work half-day. Plus, she asked the maid to make spicy dishes for lunch, and she even scolded me. She knows I can't handle spicy food! Then for dinner, she asked the maid to go home and throw away the ingredients. She ordered food for herself, but I'm still starving because I can't order food myself. She's doing this to me on purpose!"

Joseph didn't know how to react after he listened to Danya's account.

He didn't expect Paige to act like this.

Paige was usually gentle and harmless, and she was never one who liked to harm other people. This time, she must have pulled tricks on Paisley's nanny because she was jealous.

Joseph was certain that Paige must be upset that he couldn't go home as promised because of Paisley.

So, she deliberately messed with Danya.

Joseph couldn't help but soften his tone, "Okay, I'll call Paige and ask her to order food for you."

However, it wasn't the reaction Danya was expecting from Joseph. She began sobbing again to incite a stronger emotion from Joseph, and she added, "I'm afraid that she won't listen to you. I don't know why,

but I think Miss Anderson really hates me."

"Don't worry. Paige is a good-natured woman. Surely she won't step over the line," Joseph reassured Danya before hanging up the phone.

After the call ended, Danya wiped away the tears and laughed wickedly. Paige was still too inexperienced when it came to stirring the pot.

Now that she had shown Joseph the evil side of Paige, Danya was sure that Joseph would be displeased with Paige.

Since Joseph was going to call Paige and ask her to order food for Danya, she surely wouldn't compromise, and they might even begin fighting on this matter.

As long as Joseph started fighting with Paige, Paisley and Danya could sit back and enjoy the fruits of their efforts.
